Putin seems to have no problem with his public comments.

Stepping up to the brink and over the edge.

And our intelligence services saw it all coming, but
nobody wanted to believe the evidence.     One of the
fundamental changes Putin wrought is American downgrading
- declassification - of intelligence for strategic
positioning.

In a cult of personality, there is no career benefit to
being the first to bring bad news.  Putin purged his own
intelligence services for reporting only good news -

But that won't solve the fundamental problem.

To become immortal as a great czar, Putin destroyed the
credibility of the Russian army, united Europe like never
before, drove Sweden and Finland into NATO, and killed
tens of thousands of people - for nothing.    But A Life
for the Czar is very traditional Russian -

and a million lives for the Czar are a million times
better.  As Stalin certainly thought, and might have said -
one death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.

Like Hitler after Sudetenland, Putin after Crimea thought
Ukraine was his for the taking.      But maybe he shares
credit , along with Zelenskyy, for discouraging Xi from
invading Taiwan.
